I think I will buy this and used the same wire method as OP, but at same time, I just worried if I only used 2ch and 90 RMS to feed the two door speakers, then the dash and rear speakers won't be power enough for the whole sound stage in car? anyone has any experience about this setup?
Or is it possible to bypass the dash and rear speaker input from HU, so I can wire in parallel then feed dash and rear speakers in 2CH 45w, and the other 2ch 45w goes door speakers.  |
I installed Polk DXi6501 component system as follows. The 6.5" speakers went in the door. The crossovers were zip tied into the doors and feed those door speakers but I also ran a wire up to the dash where I installed the tweeters. Factory dash speaker setup has the tweeter and 3.5" in series and I believe there is a crossover on the OEM tweeter. So that required some rewiring and while I was at it, I installed new 3.5" Infinity reference speakers in the dash next to that Polk tweeter. I will be installing the Alpine 445U and sound deadening in the doors next as described in this thread next. My impressions at this point are that sound is clearer but not louder. Since my door speakers are 4 Ohm that is no surprise. I am getting nowhere near enough bass from those 6.5's but the Amp should solve that. What's nice about this arrangement is that the Amp is driving both the 6.5's and dash tweeters through a crossover leaving the new dash 3.5's off the HU. Power rating of the component speakers is 100W so I will bridge the Alpine. Report on how this goes will follow in a few days.
